What a grand thing to find in Friday’s Business section: A rebirth
of the Chintz Room is coming to Downtown.

Those of us who remember being all dressed up to go Downtown and visit Lazarus for luncheon with
our moms, aunts and grandmothers have pleasant memories to go with that news. Many of our city’s
best family traditions seemed to convene at Town and High streets and continue north to Broad and
High streets with delightful special places along the way — Lazarus, Marzetti, Kuenning’s and the
Maramor a little farther east on Broad Street.

Best wishes to Elizabeth Lessner on her new project and I hope, in addition to the celery
dressing and chicken salad, she will have the to-die-for chocolate pecan ice cream ball on the
menu. I am ready to order it now.
